You might check out the new Otter storage stuff, ASAT Miller just picked some up and they looked pretty sweet!

Clam has a holder for about the same price and comparable to the mad dog holder in style.

I have looked into the claim but need to call them. I dont have the metal rack on the front or back of my 2013 polaris sportsman 500, do you know if it mounts to the stock plastic rack thing it has?

We have a 2014 Sportsman 400 that I put a Digger Ice auger mount on the front of. I really like it and it holds it super solid. I also put an Ogio/Polaris semi hard bag on the back for our electronics. It's not huge but fits both our LX7s and Marcum 825 camera. That's all I wanted was for the electronics to be on the wheeler so they weren't bouncing around in the Otter. I will try to post a couple pix of our set up!

It's to my understanding that they no longer make the Mad Dog mount, hence why you're having trouble finding it.

I had a Mad Dog mount on my Honda Fourtrax.... I cant really say I cared for it a whole lot. I do like the looks of the Digger mounts. They seem like a much simpler and better option.

I put a couple Kolpin ratcheting holders on the front of my Honda. You just squeeze them shut and then a pushbutton opens them up. They hold the auger pretty well. I think they came from Cabela's. RH

I use the regular solid u kolpins with the rubber barbs.  Works great.  Anyone know the best way to get your atv and flip shack together in aa short bed pickup?

I must have the same ones on my atv.  I kinda thought they'd break off when I got them but I think their probably 5 years old and no problem so far.  I just kinda putzee out their though.

Having an ATV trailer in my case works well for the ATV to pull it out on the ice with all your gear. I've had 3 guys and all their gear on my trailer at once and away we go. RH
